So I just lucked into 2 pretty cool scores. 1 is an old beverage air DD78, with two 3 tap towers. It's grungy and "probably doesnt work, probably needs a new compressor", but the price was "just take it away please". Also, it's the original taps from my favorite dive bar, so some history there for sure. I had already removed one tower when I snapped this pic:
I have 3 perlick taps, how can I ID the model #?
2 are like this:
But one has the name stamped on top:
From the side:
Any ideas what they are?
Also, what is this? I don't think I've ever seen y'all talk about CO2 filters...
I was assuming I would strip this unit if non-functional and build a keezer. I would really like to rehab it though, but a little inspection makes me suspect that ALL the mechanicals are shot.
Which leads to score #2, a Delfield DD4472N sandwich prep fridge that DOES work. Don't have a clear over view pic, but it's a flat top version of this:
Score! Now I'm conflicted. The Delfield is a BEAST, and a beauty. 1/2 hp compressor, stainless in good shape, functional gaskets. But it's a bit loud, and definitely is not the conducive format the bevair is....
I may build a keezer with the delfield. I may strip it's coolerifier and hack it into to the bevair. I may.... I really have no clue. But I have 3 beer towers, 3 mystery perlicks, 3 mystery taps, a sanke coupler, a 4 port and a 2 port manifold, a regulator, shut offs, tees, a bevair shell and a working bad ass commercial drawer fridgey thing. I'm open to suggestsions.
And to think I was minutes/days away from dropping real money on a blue air unit, or throwing down on an all new keezer build!
Thanks!
Edit: because I see my typo in the title, should be "help", doesnt look like I can fix it, oh well, point and laugh at the new guy.
Also, should probably add this will be for homebrew. I may occasionally fill a 1/2 barrel, but its mostly cornies. Original keezer plan was 4 taps, 1 seltzer, 1 cider, 2 beer, but now....oh boy.
